3 tps and 10 km by Ian Molesworth
Karel your proposal wording still does not quite work! For example someone could declare Start - A - B - A - Finish where start and finish are the same as TP B ( or just 10 metres away from B ) - its a double out and return, a yo-yo! you still need to seperate any waypoints ( TP's or start and...

Streifeneder GFS seals by Catherine Conway
